‘Selective pointers through Allen’s Keynotes’ feels like a refreshing revision of one of my favourites, Allen’s Keynotes. The idea presented in the book where remedies with their key indications are alphabetically and systematically listed, under specific and interesting categories – such as old people, women, climacteric, pregnancy, children, etc. There are couple of more interesting chapters like Dos and Don’t’s which give specific indications of when a remedy should be or not be repeated, for example, Cina maritima follows well in intermittent fever after Capsicum. The chapter Thumb rule gives very specific indications of the remedies, such as Camphora as tongue cold, flabby, with trembling.
This book is another way to learn and understand the remedies and the comparisons. The book is useful to UG and PG students of homoeopathy. It is a small book, even a quick read between one’s practice hours is an interesting and helpful revision of the keynotes. My best wishes to Dr Shyam Kumar Vaishnav, and his efforts are much appreciated. We need many more young minds like him, enthusiastic and passionate about Homoeoopathy.
